Vehicle Profile: The 2012 Kia Sedona EX

Room, comfort and versatility: They’re what make a minivan work for so many families. In recent years, however, the price of entry for a new minivan has been astronomical. The 2012 Kia Sedona EX, the top line model, moves into luxury territory with all the amenities family buyers want while providing the outstanding value that Kia delivers throughout its product line.
 
The 2012 Kia Sedona brings the brand’s renowned value and quality to the whole family. For the family looking for some luxury in a van, the 2012 Sedona EX continues the value streak with an MSRP of $29,190.
 
Adding a few luxuries to some vans can drive their prices into luxury car territory. That’s not the case with the 2012 Kia Sedona EX. This value-packed model starts out with the comfort and convenience of a standard rear-view mirror camera display, six-way power-adjustable driver's seat, four-way power front passenger's seat, power rear quarter windows, six-speaker audio system, auto-dimming rear-view mirror with HomeLink®, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a trip computer with integral compass and heated power outside mirrors.
 
The seven-passenger configuration in the Kia Sedona EX includes middle-row captains’ chairs for maximum comfort. Order the available Rear-Seat Entertainment System, and those captains’ chairs will become the most coveted seats in the vehicle. A generous 34 inches of legroom helps make the third row comfortable for adult passengers, too.
 
The middle-row captains’ chairs are easily removed, and the third-row bench folds flat into the floor to open up a massive 141.5 cubic feet of carrying space. Compare that to the 108.4 cubic feet of space in the Nissan Quest. You can fold the 60/40 sections of the third-row seat into the floor individually, too.
 
When you load up a family van with people and their belongings, you add weight, of course. So, out on the road, you’ll want plenty of reserve power, especially on hills. The 2012 Kia Sedona obliges with a 271-hp 3.5-liter V6 matched to a smooth six-speed automatic transmission. The Sportmatic® feature allows manual shifting when desired, such as for driving on hills.
 
Out on the road, you’ll find the 2012 Kia Sedona offers another major advantage over the Toyota Sienna. In the Sedona, a sophisticated, multi-link independent rear suspension, similar to what you’d find on a sport/luxury sedan, ensures agility and smooth ride quality. The Toyota Sienna, meanwhile, uses a simpler beam-type solid axle. In the Sedona, each rear wheel can respond to bumps independently, providing a noticeable difference in ride smoothness.
 
In the Kia Sedona EX, your passengers will enjoy comfort no matter what the weather holds with front and rear air conditioning, power side windows and the previously mentioned power rear quarter windows. Getting in and out from either side is easy with dual power sliding doors. When loading all your stuff in the 2012 Sedona EX, you’ll appreciate the standard power tailgate.
 
The 2012 Kia Sedona EX offers plenty of audio choices, starting with a standard AM/FM/CD/MP3/Satellite audio system that includes both 3.5mm auxiliary and USB/MP3 input jacks. SiriusXM® Satellite Radio comes with three months of complimentary service. Helping you keep order in your life, Bluetooth® wireless technology bolsters the convenience of your smartphone.
 
Add the Premium Entertainment Package and equip the Sedona EX with an Infinity® 10-speaker audio system and a rear DVD entertainment system with wireless headsets and remote control. Or, choose the Navigation Package with an eight-speaker audio system along with a navigation system.
 
It’s not all about the kids, is it? Add the Sedona EX Luxury Package and treat yourself to the comfort of leather seat trim, heated front seats, power-adjustable pedals, tri-zone automatic climate control and a power tilt/slide sunroof. You also get a memory system that remembers personal settings for the driver’s seat, outside mirrors and the adjustable pedals.
 
That’s a lot of family van value with real luxury for the driver, too. It all comes backed by the brand’s five-year or 60,000-mile Limited Basic Warranty with a Roadside Assistance plan for that period, plus a 10-year or 100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty and five-year or 100,000-mile Anti-Perforation Warranty.
 
Come in and see why the 2012 Kia Sedona EX is the ideal family van for your family.
